Shannon was fantastic, baby was a little fussy but Shannon was calm and understanding and very helpful in getting baby to calm long enough to take a photo. She understood that babies are babies. She was really good and getting shots to look so natural almost candid. When we got to the hospital, my wife and I didn't even have to think twice about getting photos with first day photos again, not having to go anywhere and capturing the first day of our little joy is priceless! We've told everyone we know that thinking about having kids about this! Less

We really appreciated the photographer going the extra step to also get some shots with both our new baby and our older child as part of the photo session! Less

Such a great idea to have the newborn photo shoot provided straight at the hospital! Loved it and so glad we did this! The photographer was so friendly and gave us clear instructions for the photos. I could tell that she’s very experienced with newborns and posed our baby safely and carefully. Made the photos look lovely even in the midst of our mess in the hospital room, lol. I also loved the quick and quality turnaround. The price was reasonable, and I liked that we could take the photoshoot for free then see the edited final album before we made the decision to purchase a package. Would have loved to have been more prepared for the photoshoot (e.g., packed a cute swaddle/outfit for the baby and brought my makeup); maybe it would be nice to have your flyer included in the delivery brochure that was given to the pregnant patients during the prenatal OB visits?

Thank you for providing such an EASY experience. We loved the photos and are so thankful for the ability to easily document and share our family’s special moment with friends and family so soon after birth. Less

We had a wonderful experience! The photographer was professional, efficient and took amazing shots of my family. He captured so many shots that we will treasure forever. Less

Very well done photos. Excellent and very professional photographer. We went into the hospital thinking we didn’t want this service but are very happy to have done it! Less

Our photographer was extremely accommodating and patient. We really appreciated her working with us and our fussy baby. The shots turned out so cute too! Less

Working with Hilary was such an amazing experience. Something I never anticipated post partum. We didn’t get any newborn photos with our first daughter- I would recommend her to anyone looking for a special experience that suits your needs as a parent and a patient! We were truly so grateful to work with her Less

I’m obsessed with our photos and love that this was offered! I looked at the pricing beforehand so there were no surprises. I cried the moment they started showing them to us and will treasure them forever! Less

The whole process from start to finish was so easy. The photographer was so kind and perfectly captured my little one. I was amazed at the quick turn around time and pricing was reasonable. I couldn't be happier with the photos, I have already looked at them everyday! Less

Had a wonderful experience! And we are super happy with the results. Less than 36 hours post-delivery and I didn’t look like a zombie which was amazing. Got lots of great pics of baby, baby with each parent and then all 3 of us. Couldn’t be more pleased and got lots of compliments on the pics as well. Less

We are SO glad to have booked First Day Photo to document this special time with our sweet girl! The images were unique, session was easy and experience was priceless. So grateful! Less

“My husband and I wanted to get a simple first photo of our little girl after her delivery but our photographer did such an amazing job, that we ended getting the full e-package of all of her photos. Thank you First Day Photo!” Less

Great experience. I was not expecting to take pictures while in the hospital, but it all worked out so well. I’m really glad I found this card, because these are pictures we are going to cherish forever. Less

The photographer was great! I was very impressed with how the photos turned out. When they came back to show us the final slideshow, I cried. They were so beautiful. Less

We are so grateful this service was offered to us in the hospital! We absolutely love how our pictures turned out and will cherish those memories forever. Our photographer was amazing and patient with our newborn. Very highly recommend! Less

The service was absolutely wonderful and personable (pun intended). We felt like we were cared for and, more importantly, that our baby was cared for. She is such a natural with babies and did an incredible job at soothing and posing our little guy. I highly recommend using First Day Photo for your special first time moment. Less

After a long struggle with infertility, our daughter finally arrived so we loved the idea of family photos in at the hospital. The experience was seamless for us (which was so nice as I was still recovering from my c-section), the photos were incredible (we purchased the entire package of them), and received them right away! We can't stop looking at them, and have been sharing them with friends and family. We also plan to frame a few of them. Thank you for helping us commemorate our daughter's debut into the world - these photos are so special to us! Less

This service is amazing. Right after the birth of a child at the hospital the last thing most people think of is, I should hire a photographer.If you don't like the photos you don't have to purchase and you are not out anything. They edit the photos on the spot and give you the option to purchase later. Love that this exists and we are fortunate to have this business around. Less

- Naive unexperienced Photographers-- Out of focus photos.-- Less sense of foreground, background & depth of image.-- Subject in the photos were not clicked well. Eg. Ribbons/hairs were cut from the frame.- Poor Customer Support who were trying to represent poor work as their best work and not willing to resolve issue. Less

How does these amazing photographers have only 1 star? Can i start by saying i'm BACK after 5yrs buying this as a baby shower gift? My personal experience:This was 2018. There was no pandemic or masks or any of that. I birthed at Fairview Riverside's U of M Masonic Birthing Center. I called once we got into a permanent room. I remember the photographer was female, not that it matters, but i remember how extremely kind she felt. Sometimes if i'm overstimulated I can feel people's energies stronger than normal and she was just so nice. I remember that. I remember not using the pink blanket I'd wanted because the photographer made a very astute call to use a textured background. Listen....they edited all the pictures they took, sent me a link to a professionally done up video edit, and it was just breathtaking. The opening sequence, the editing, the little music they used lol. It was gorgeous. I am not unfamiliar with professional photog edits and this folks was gorgeous. The final product (that i could afford) was mailed to me in a HARD protected envelope. Double points for shipping and using the appropriate materials! They matter folks. I can not wait to see how they've grown. I'm so excited to gift this. Less

Don’t waste you money booking your newborn photo session with this company. Your iPhone or Android can do a better editing job ( I received unedited pictures of my newborn which were subsequently touched up but it didn’t make that much difference) . Their session will only last about 30 minutes which is a joke when you’re trying to get an upset newborn to cooperate with taking pictures( I later found out, many other newborn photographers have 2-3 hours photo sessions for the same price). Because their sessions are so short, it leaves almost no time for creativity. The photographer is trying to get as many poses as they can. As a result you get several similar pictures that capture baby doing the same thing. Find another photographer that wants to spend time taking the best shots of your newborn. This company will not give you your money back either. Less
